Not surprising, that Texas continues to be one of the leading states in the number of lightning-related homeowners #insurance claims. Texas in 2025 had the highest average cost per claim among the top states at $60,382 per claim, per @iiiorg. #weather #lightning

Lightning is one of the most underestimated risks for homeowners. Triple-I says lightning-related claim payouts hit $1.65B in 2025, with average claims topping $26K. See the latest trends and ways to reduce risk: iii.org/press-release/…⚡

With Texas seeing strong spring storms, National Contractor Fraud Awareness Week is a good time to remind consumers to be cautious to avoid scams when hiring to get that damage repaired. Contractors and roofers are not regulated in Texas. carriermanagement.com/news/2026/05/1…

A contest Texans – and their roofs - don’t want to win. Texas logged 902 #hail events with major damage in 2025, way more than #2 Illinois with 375 major hail events. #insurance #weather @wfaa @JasonWheelerTV wfaa.com/article/money/…

#Hail is a driver for property damage and #insurance claims in Texas. This recent quote nails it: “A good hailstorm in Dallas-Fort Worth is almost like having a #hurricane. It's so expensive. Especially because of the comparative frequency between a hurricane and a hailstorm.”

Texas’ ranking isn’t shocking, but the numbers are: In the span of 20 years, the state recorded a whopping 2,724 natural disasters — more than double Florida. Averaged out, this equates to 136 disasters per year. #weather #disaster #insurance bit.ly/41ZIIsh

.@StateFarm announced it paid out $1.3 billion in #hail claims, just in Texas – about 25% of all U.S. hail claims it paid. Texas continually ranks at or near the top of the list nationally for hail damage claims. Stay alert & consider impact resistant shingles. #insurance
